Hi Unregistered,
We'll be undergoing major forum changes in the very near future. Be sure to check out the details here

I'm getting there slowly but surely; I'm about a third through the National Dex to get a Shiny Charm, but I haven't yet completed the New Unova dex, nor have I beaten the E4 yet... I need a Landurous at the moment, and I've been looking for one on the GTS. What I shame I don't have any level 9 or under Kyurem!

I really hate those morons who put trades up like that, they're like the trolls of pokemon.

This took 8746 encounters which is my 4th shiny in a row that went over the odds! But I'm happy I got this since my team is pretty ground weak. The nature is Hardy and it has Prankster which is great. Now I'm hunting in Route 5 for anything except Liepard but I'm mostly wanting Gothita or Mincinno with Technician so hopefully that happens! My Nephew couldn't find his game so it looks like I won't be able to SR for Landorus :[ but for now I decided to hunt on Route 14 in white. Good luck everyone especially those still hunting for their starters! *sends over some luck*

Congratulations to all above shinies ^_^ Some very nice ones.. and an extra 'good luck' to Heliotrope with those numbers! I am still not done with my White 2 playthrough, which is agitating me, as I want to get shiny hunting ASAP.

I'm still unsure about whether to SR for a starter in Black 2 or not. (I plan on a Badge Quest) If not, I'll RE at Flocessy Ranch. Would you say it is worth the time SR'ing?

I decided to forfeit my ralts MM at 1,060 eggs... i didn't want to take a chance of not getting the right gender... so now in my W2 game i'm MMing an absol, currently at 30 eggs. I'm probably gonna chain in my platinum game for a shiny duskull to kill time.

It was hidden in box 10. (I still have the first 9 boxes to hatch, as I was going backwards through them)
I'm so happy now.
So happy that I may embark on a female charmander hunt, like a crazy person.

OH MY GOODNESS! So happy for you! That is great ^_^ I just completed the game on White 2, and I have set a crazy goal to SR for all of the legendary pokemon available in White 2, as well as MM my planned competitive team. I am so excited to finally be able to hunt again. For the legendarys I will probably hunt Virizion or Latias first. I also really want the pixie trio, especially uxie. Good luck everyone

thanks for the congrats =)
That's 3 shinies this month, so I guess my luck for the year is all used up >.<
Not sure what to hunt next. Female charmander would be nice, but I'm not sure I'm ready for another long hunt. Might go for some Gen 1 shinies I don't have yet, like Rattata or something.
That or make some progress in SS so I can start SRing my next legend there.

OMG CONGRATS!!!!!! VICTORYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!! And yes... You are a crazy person for hunting for a shiny female Charmander (and I am guessing you are shiny hunting all starters female as a goal?). I am the same way. I love female pokemon. I can only imagine.... You have like a gazillion shiny Bulbasaur, City of Delusion has a gazillion shiny Rapidash.... Hahaha.

Anyways, I am really getting back into the hunting mood for Groudon and Kyogre. I will be so excited when I finally get them and then Rayquaza!

Happy hunting everyone and congrats on the Sandile, Cottonee, and all other recent shinies!!!

Well, magnificent news on the Female Bulbasaur!!! Took a long time, now you can focus on new hunts!

Anyways, I'm currently going through Soul Silver to SR for Lugia. I love that shiny, so it'd be appropriate to go for it in Movember (November)...which just gave me a funny idea! As it is "Movember", we could go for shinies with mustaches, like Male Jellicent or Abra's evolutions. That would be neat.

Edit: Just in Route 32...last time I was in this route, I RE'd my Wooper...the memories!

When we were discussing what the community hunt should be for t his month I suggested nosepass(probopass) exactly for that reason

Hey all!
Major congrats to dangertrout! Was that like 5 males? Congrats anyway!
Congrats on cottonee(spelling!) city! and that regice too and your cresselia!
Im filling the unova dex in white 2 and im currently at 296 seen, because i want my shiny haxorus! (I know its free but i'll make the most of an awesome shiny) But i face a dilemma, i hate sr in bw2 , its long ( helio i cannot imagine your pain). I'm going back to my shroomish mm on black for now, 510 eggs. I would like hunt ideas from you guys! Gl to cocoa, the master and especially helio on your srs, and of course everyone else!

The almighty Turtwig is my claim

If any one has a spare Lopunite could you PM me and we shall negotiate a trade!

My new sig should sum my shinyness up ...could i join the community hunt this month? i love abra+evos, we could SR theinteractable jelicent, and probopass has an awesome mustache. btw, i would recommend these mustachioed pkmn:

samurott, alakazam, walrein/sealeo, stoutland, and kricketune. thats what i could think of :PPPP thx! gracias!

Quick question for anyone that has tried - I'm currently hatching 5 eggs at a time instead of collecting tons of boxes and hatching. Has anyone hatched 5 at a time, SR'd, and picked up 5 more and actually hatched a shiny? I just feel like I have better luck when I collect a lot and hatch a large batch instead of collecting 5, hatching 5, and SRing.

Congrats again, Danger!

That's the only way I hatch for shinies, and I've hatched many shinies that way. ^_^ I can't be bothered collecting eggs, since it takes ages and then you have to waste even more time releasing them all.

I got bored of looking for interesting ID numbers, so now I'm back on the SR'ing. Currently at 11,604 SR for shiny Snivy.

Congratiez to Dangertrout!!!!!!! Victory!!!!! Anyone else I forgot congratiez aswell! The other day I encountered a shiny foongus randomly while getting some eggmoves on my breeding slave smeargle :3 I named her Fujia. Pictures will come soon ;3 Still no power from Sandy. No power; no pictures. Gl to everyone on there shiny hunts esspecially Helio!

That's how I do it. That is how I got both shiny snivys of mine (I lost the first one. ) Once I've hatched 4 of the 5 eggs in my party, I go to the PC, and release all the regular ones, unless they have a good nature or characteristic.

@Paddy, It was, in fact, 5 males before the female finally shone. I'm keeping one male for myself and giving the rest to friends.

@YNCRN, I prefer stocking up eggs now. I collect eggs and wait for one to hatch in party, then go to PC, release any non-shinies that hatched and box the eggs. When I'm done I grab four eggs from the PC and one from the daycare man. when they all hatch I go release the non-shinies and collect new eggs to hatch.
It's longer to do it this way, but it sort of forces me to hatch more eggs than I normally would otherwise. more eggs = more chances at shinies, so I find this is working pretty well for me.
(sucks when you go through all that and there are still no shinies tho >.<)
I find when I did the collect one party / hatch / reset I gave up a lot more often. That's just me though.
